About Us

At Sunburst Database we enjoy solving problems and providing
software that is helpful and easy to use. Our area of expertise is
database design and application programming.

We specialize in using
relational databases to organize information so that it matches
real-world situations. On top of the relational architecture, we use
the Microsoft Access platform to provide rich user interfaces that
are simple to operate but powerful at managing large sets of
records.

Our software can run over the Internet with remote servers,
or in local area networks (LANs). We work with many different industries,
such as medicine, science, engineering, finance, and education.

History

Sunburst Database is part of Pressley Consulting Inc., which has
been building custom database solutions since 1990. Pressley Consulting
was founded in 1990 by Peter Pressley Ph.D., who operates the company
as a consulting contractor to
businesses that require software solutions.

In its early
years, Pressley Consulting offered programming services to large
corporations, small businesses, and government agencies using a
variety of operating systems and relational databases. With the
advent of Microsoft Access in the early nineties, Pressley
Consulting focused on this database platform for developing
solutions because it was (1) inexpensive for customers (part of the
Microsoft Office Pro suite), (2) powerful (full relational capabilities with support for SQL,
the standard for all relational databases), and (3) offered a
complete development environment for rapidly creating complete
multi-user database applications (using VBA, Visual Basic for
Applications, the event-driven programming language built into
Microsoft Office applications).
